Dr. Ross Perkins and I have done some research on open access journals and Perkins maintains http://edtechjournals.org But I have been curious about what open access journals are out there that focus more generally on education, educational psychology, teacher education, and higher education. I have begun to make a list of some of the one’s that stand out as some of the better ones. I plan to update this over time.
